daily by varsity baseball football and lacrosse teams it forces coach petrikin to put his men through their preliminary ' work-outs on the gym floor there has been no chance as yet to size up the infield and outfield candidates and for that reason nothing can be determin ed in the way of the team's strength the battery men are working out daily by pitching and catching in the gym and by all predictions should be the strongest department of the team the majority of the fifty can didates that answered the call have had baseball experience in preparatory schools and with the past coaching

years he expected to lay especial stress on the eng lish department so that in the near future that department shall be on a par with the best colleges of the east bhe business students heard a most

have taken place april 9 efforts are being made to substitute for this dropped game so that the team will have more practice before meet ing syracuse on the 15th all indications point to a successful season syracuse the first on the list should prove difficult the next game with stevens promises to be a hard fight last year the latter won 6-5 after a long and hard fought battle the odds are cer tainly even for this year johns hopkins will certainly have a strong team this year since they were last year's champions the game at that time with lehigh was a fierce one but the brown and white was able to score only one point to the other's nine con on page 4 col 2 the university of maryland will give a good contest but if the teams remain as they were last year lehigh should win the score of
